PERSONALITY: Mashin is known for his reserved nature, preferring to listen rather than speak out. He enjoys a more quiet and quaint lifestyle as opposed to an exciting one- although he does enjoy the spontaneous every so often. While he appears to be very serious and polite, rumor has it that he'll appear vacant-minded and replicate noises of various animals or devices in the presence of select individuals. He is noted for his "ladylike" personality.
